FORT COLLINS, Colo., November 5, 2015 --- IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors, mixed-signal and digital ICs for power conversion and motion control applications, announced today the introduction of its IXRFD615X2 dual CMOS high-speed, high-current MOSFET gate driver by its IXYS Colorado division.

The IXRFD615X2 dual CMOS gate driver is designed and optimized to drive MOSFETs in Push-Pull and resonant Class E Push-Pull HF RF applications, as well as other applications requiring ultrafast rise and fall times or short minimum pulse widths.

It can source and sink 15 A of peak current per driver while providing voltage rise and fall times of less than 10 ns and minimum pulse widths of 8 ns. The dual driver offers more flexibility over single output gate drivers by providing two independent ground referenced drivers that can be used in Push-Pull and resonant class E Push-Pull topologies along with differential drive transformer, transducer applications. The driver’s features and wide safety margins in operating voltage and power make the IXRFD615X2 unmatched in performance and value.

Advantages:

Applications:

Push-Pull RF Generators

Multi-MHz Switch Mode Supplies

“The IXRFD615X2 is an exciting addition to IXYSRF’s growing family of components for high frequency power RF system design,” commented Stephen Krausse, General Manager of IXYS Colorado. “It offers more flexible design options in high frequency applications over single output gate drivers.”
